Hello again.
My 996 has been running for a couple of months since I had the engine out and in again. I've been having a little issue with (I think) an inlet or vacuum leak.
Nothing obvious and I had looked a few times but it's pretty packed in there and I coldn't find a thing.
Giving codes 1128 and 1130 - which I reset every so often and an erratic tickover - rising up to 1500 rpm at times. Not nice.
When I had the engine out I renewed all the inlet gaskets and fitted a new air oil separator (AOS).
Eventually going to bite the bullet and get it sorted. I had an offer from a local garage (Lotus main dealer) to do a smoke test - which had been suggested a while back too. However - no patience and prefer tp do things myself I made my own smoke machine from a disco fog machine (£40 in maplins)
Anyhow I ran it through the inlet system today and the only smoke I could see was (quite a lot) from the AOS. NOt from where the hoses go though but from another part - see photo.
I can't find any info - should it come out there or should that part be sealed?
The AOS was a pattern one (design 911) - is it faulty?
any experience anyone? Or ideas?
I'm part-way through taking the engine out again so I can see better - it is a really hard to get at part!!
Thanks
Graham
